My eyes fluttered open. My senses all came back to me. It was dark, and I was definitely not in my bed. However, I did seem to be lying on a pillow. I wondered why I wasn’t in my usual purple, circular bed.
I searched in the back of my memory to find the conclusion.
It was movie night at Titan’s Tower, and it was Beast Boy’s turn to pick. We ended up viewing “Dumb and Dumber”, which Beast Boy and Cyborg found hilarious. I found it offensive. Raven spent those hours reading a thick, dusty novel. No doubt another horror book from her collection. Robin, I noticed, seemed just as bored as I was. He sat with his head in his hands, staring blankly at the screen.
It was the hour before midnight that I started to get sleepy. The unnecessary sex jokes and “toilet” humor did not interest me in the slightest, quite the opposite of our humorous green changeling. I soon found myself drifting off to sleep. I must have slept on the sofa tonight.
I yawned and silently agreed with my conclusion. Not wanting to tread all the way back to my bedroom, and I decided to stay on the sofa and snuggled closer to my pillow.
Wait a minute... pillows don’t breathe... I thought, puzzled. I quickly sat up and turned around.
I blushed bright red when I had realized what my I had been sleeping on this whole night: Robin. I saw him stirring and sucked in my breath. Surely he would object to two work partners sleeping on top of one another.
“Star...?” he yawned. My cheeks burned as he rubbed his masked eyes. “What’re you doing here?” he asked sleepily.
“Um... I believe we must have fallen asleep while watching the movie tonight,” I answered him, embarrassed. I saw him nod.
“Oh,” he muttered.
“I... um... better be going to my quarters now,” I announced, preparing to stand up.
“You don’t have to,” he answered. My eyes widened slightly, but smiled. I knew I shouldn’t take advantage of Robin when he was half-asleep, but I could not resist. I slowly lay back on the sofa, my body pressed extremely close to Robin’s. I could not help but giggle silently when he placed his arms around me.
He smelled nice. Like clean laundry, almost. I find it difficult to describe. His warm arms closed around my shoulders, like a barrier, as though he was going to keep me safe the rest of the night. Being this close to him, I could smell his hair gel. I could feel his shirt and cape brush against my skin. My stomach crawled. It was uncomfortable, yet pleasant. I succumbed to my desire, and lay my head down on his chest. I sighed with happiness, being this close to him. I slowly closed my eyes, and prepared to drift back into the slumber. But, suddenly, I felt something.
Lips pressing against my forehead.
My eyes snapped open. I gently lifted my head and looked at Robin. He seemed to be sleeping peacefully. Why would he perform such a special mark of affection toward me?
My ears turned red as I realized what the answer was.
I started to observe the sleeping Robin. His usually spiked, jet black hair was tousled and slightly flattened. I could hear his shallow breathing, his chest rising and falling. He looked so at peace when he slept, much unlike his constant frowning during the day. I remembered the feeling of his lips against my forehead, and smiled.
Then, I carefully leaned forward and kissed his lips lightly. Being asleep, he obviously didn’t respond to my actions. But, I swore that I could see him smiling in his sleep.
I sighed happily to myself and lay back down on the sofa, my head once again resting on his chest. As the heavy cloud of sleep started drifting over me once more, I wondered whether I would tell him about the special kiss that I had given him this night.
